the ironic steely dan

[christian a. gregory]

becker produced a china crisis lp in the late 80's, called "flaunt the
imperfection." it had that same shimmering, hard gloss that sd was known
for, but not half the musical temerity. still, a good listen. (always
thought that bands like chic and sisters sledge had learned a lot from sd's
production values--loved 'em both). haven't i been hearing about an sd
reunion for about forever?
